Ronnefalk defo looked fast.. I watched Maifield after it, and at first RM looked all over the place in comparison, but then he was quickly on it.. (Cool bit towards the end where he steers into the curve while airborne..) I still really like Maifield's all-out aggressive style.. Ronnefalk looks good too...

David and Ty are very fast. But there are many others as well. It will be a hard battle for the win

Did anyone notice the fuel gun that Tessmann was using at the end of the NeoBuggy video?

whoa... with that thing... and the wing... part of me feels like they are trying a bit too hard...

Sometimes too much innovation can hurt competition, a la F1...

(can't wait for someone to jump my sh*t about *my* opinion )

Wow, that was fast. I love that Ty makes the double single, as opposed to a big roller double, look so effortless.

Ronnefalk was insane fast and Ty was just slightly less insane fast, but insane smooth. Watching these two battle at the Dirt in February was awesome. Flame outs cost Ronnefalk the vicotry. It's gonna be great to see who can keep it together through quals, the semis, and the main, but I hope to see these two (plus a few others that I'm rooting for) battle it out in the main next week.

I sure hope so..... I wouldn't think that Mrs Tessmann would bring any 'toys' to the track, let alone into pit lane......

DR makes it look so easy that I could be just as fast. LOL!

Effortless

He has a tonne of talent and well tuned equipment.

I just got an update from RM's camp that he had some brake issues today and he made some changes tonight and should be ready for tomorrow.

And by camp, he means he got a text from RM or JR

from watching today I would bet some people will have some DNF's due to servo failure come the semis and final. especially throttle/brake servo. I hope not because i want to see everyone finish without failure and see were they all end up.

All the usual suspects are quick already. Which begs the question, why is there almost a full week of practice? Could have done 2-3 days max and got on with it. These guys are pros and will be the quickest at any track under any conditions.

I also think they should cut the field at least in half after practice. If you can't run 3 consecutive laps within X% of the leaders, you're excused from the event. It is the Worlds after all, and there's only about 30 or so guys who can actually win it.
